This suit is very well designed for a "plus" size 60-something swimmer. So many suits in my size do not seem designed for actual swimming--skirts, ruffles, etc. This is a straightforward suit, with just a little tummy help in the shirred front. It has comfy soft cups, secure straps, and good overall coverage. It's great for laps and/or water exercise classes. I have found in the past that Speedo suits hold up better than cheaper options, and I expect this one will do the same!
